I have a 11 year old border terrier.
For the past few years she has had episodes of trembling and looking as if she is in pain. Sometimes it does not happen for months, the most it has happened is 3 times in a week. Her tail goes between her legs and she crouches low to the floor and trembles. This only lasts a few minutes and then she is back to normal and happy. I don't think it is a seizure, she is conscious throughout. I did think it was some sort of indigestion as she loves her food and eats way too fast but I have been giving her 4 small meals instead of her usual larger two and also using a slow feeder. The vet prescribed Buscopan but this hasn't helped and she had an episode this week early in the morning before she had eaten.
I know Borders can suffer with CECS but I have looked at clips of this on YouTube and it doesn't look like that. Anyone know if they can get a mild version of this and would she get this later in life? I always thought it was something they had from birth.
She is due a check up at the Vets on Tuesday so I will mention it again but last time I spoke to the vet she checked dog over thoroughly and could find nothing. No arthritis or spine issues and she had teeth cleaned and checked just a few months ago so not toothache.
She does have chronic pancreatitis but this is well controlled by giving her only low fat food. Throughout her life her anal glands have given her issues and have ruptured a few times. She has regular checks on them now and they are ok at the moment.
Just wondered if anyone had any ideas?
